Best Documentary
Abacus: Small Enough to Jail

I was happy to see this Steve James film earn a documentary nomination this morning. It a very nice film that more people should probably watch, and it's available on Amazon Prime.

I'm mostly down on the James that I've seen, but this one is worth a watch. There was a Q&A with a few members of the family after the PFF screening a couple of years ago that I enjoyed as well. Didn't realize this was on Prime, would make for a good watch for sure.

I will do my best to start updating the FYC threads today in preparation for voting.

Just caught up with this last eve - I'll second!

Thanks! Has there been a dearth of quality Docs this year? Most of our current list were 2016 releases.

I'd nominate The Defiant Ones which I thought was awesome.

Edit - someone has to have nominated Faces Places right? (Missed it at Philly :( )

I missed it too, went Newton at the festival and, despite buzz and two (I think?) filled festival showings it only played, in a puzzling manner, for just a week.

Just starting to look through everything but is the master list correct that no one has mentioned Personal Shopper for anything?

I believe the list is not up to date yet. Corndog is about to start working on it. Pretty sure at least oldkid must have nominated PS for things.

I updated through everything except the last few pages yesterday, so there must not be Personal Shopper. I値l run through the whole thread again when I知 done and make sure I didn稚 miss it somewhere.

I am bound to have missed some things I知 sure. But that films absense does seem strange.

I just browsed through and found no record of anyone FYC'ing Personal Shopper. It is 2017 eligible, so anyone wishing to sing it's praises, please do so.

Personal Shopper

Actress - Kristen Stewart

That's it for me, thought I had included it in the previous flurry.
